What is a HIL Testing job?

A HIL (Hardware-in-the-Loop) Testing job involves validating and verifying embedded systems by simulating real-world scenarios using hardware and software models. Engineers in this role develop test cases, automate testing procedures, and analyze system behavior to ensure reliability and performance. HIL testing is commonly used in industries like automotive, aerospace, and industrial automation to test control systems before deployment.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the Hil Testing position, and why are they important?

To thrive in HIL (Hardware-in-the-Loop) Testing, a strong background in electrical engineering, embedded systems, and test automation is essential, often supported by a relevant engineering degree. Experience with tools such as dSPACE, NI LabVIEW, MATLAB/Simulink, and knowledge of real-time simulation platforms are highly valued, and certifications in software or hardware testing can be advantageous. Critical thinking, problem-solving, and effective communication are important soft skills for diagnosing issues and collaborating closely with multidisciplinary engineering teams. These competencies ensure accurate validation of complex control systems and help deliver reliable, high-quality products in industries like automotive and aerospace.

What does a typical day look like for someone working in HIL Testing?

A typical day in HIL Testing involves designing and setting up test benches, running simulations of real-world scenarios on hardware prototypes, analyzing results, and documenting any issues or anomalies found. You'll work closely with hardware designers, embedded software engineers, and project managers to develop test cases and troubleshoot control systems. The role often requires managing multiple test cycles, adapting to evolving specifications, and participating in team meetings to review progress. This hands-on environment combines a mix of technical work, problem-solving, and collaborative communication to ensure the proper functioning and safety of complex electronic systems before they are deployed in the field.

Job description

Job Title: HIL Propulsion Engineer

Location: Michigan 

Duration: Long Term

Client: Stellantis 

 
Job description:
We are seeking a proactive and technically skilled HIL, Propulsion, and Commissioning Engineer to support the development, validation, and deployment of propulsion control systems. This role involves working with Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) platforms, electric or hybrid propulsion systems, and overseeing on-site commissioning activities for vehicle or equipment launches.
You will be a key contributor in ensuring that propulsion systems meet functional, safety, and performance requirements from lab validation through to field deployment.
Key Responsibilities:
  • Develop and maintain HIL setups for testing propulsion system ECUs and control logic.
  • Simulate propulsion system components (motors, inverters, batteries, etc.) using real-time platforms like dSPACE, NI VeriStand, or Speedgoat.
  • Execute model-based testing and validation using MATLAB/Simulink and integrate with HIL test automation.
  • Conduct commissioning of propulsion systems on vehicles, test benches, or industrial platforms.
  • Interface with cross-functional teams for system calibration, fault injection, and troubleshooting.
  • Support safety validation, performance tuning, and integration of propulsion subsystems (motor controllers, BMS, etc.).
  • Analyze logs and test data to identify root causes and propose design improvements.
  • Ensure compliance with safety and industry standards (ISO 26262, IEC 61508, etc. as applicable).
Qualifications:
  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, or related discipline.
  • 3+ years of experience with HIL systems, propulsion systems, or commissioning activities.
  • Proficient in MATLAB/Simulink for control system modeling and testing.
  • Understanding of electric drive systems, power electronics, and motor control strategies.
  • Familiarity with communication protocols such as CAN, Ethernet, Modbus, or PROFIBUS.
  • Strong hands-on experience with testing tools like CANoe, CANalyzer, or similar.
  • Ability to travel for on-site commissioning and system integration
